The children (&lt;18 years of age) who were managed for ileocolic intussusception between January 2015 and December 2018 were evaluated retrospectively. Age, gender, presenting complaints, length of the intussuscepted segment, presence of leading point, treatment modalities, recurrence rates and duration of recurrence were evaluated.
108 patients with ileocolic intussusception were enrolled in the study; 59 were male and 49 were female with a mean age of 2.04?±?1.71 years. Two patients underwent immediate surgery without any attempt of hydrostatic reduction. Nineteen patients (18%) were managed by conservative measures initially. Seventeen (89.5%) of them have recovered with expectant management and two patients required hydrostatic enema reduction during follow-up. In total, 89 patients underwent hydrostatic reduction; 48 were male and 41were female with a mean age of 1.9?±?1.65 years. Twelve patients (13.5%) received surgery after failed hydrostatic reduction. In the patients with successful hydrostatic reduction, one more episode of intussusception is seen in 10 patients (13%) and 2 additional episodes in 2 (2.6%). Seven patients with relapse were male and 5 were female with a mean age of 1.16?±?1.64 years. The median duration of the first relapse episode was 67.5 days (range;18-110 days). The ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction was also successful in patients with recurrence.
Ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction is a non-invasive treatment of ileocolic intussusception with high success rates in childhood. It can be performed safely in both initial and relapse episodes of intussusception.

This study aims to analyze how international clinical and research leaders in Addiction Medicine view Case Reports and their relevance to bridge the gap between evidence and practice. A semi-structured, audio-recorded interviews were conducted with 12 international Addiction Medicine scholars. Thematic content analysis was used to code the transcribed interview data. Interviewees showed a positive view toward publishing Case Reports in Addiction Medicine. They found that medical students and clinicians working in the field of Addiction Medicine should be encouraged to share and record cases of clinical interaction. To aid this process (1) formal supervised training in case reporting within an academic environment must be facilitated. And (2) jical students and clinicians working in the field of Addiction Medicine should be encouraged to share and record cases of clinical interaction. To aid this process (1) formal supervised training in case reporting within an academic environment must be facilitated. And (2) journals should also offer a place to publish Case Reports. Conclusion The international scholars agree that Case Reports are important for the development of Addiction Medicine and that they can contribute to a better understanding of patients with substance use disorder.Although sleep problems are common among patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), there is a lack of prospective research examining its influence on health consequences over time. This study investigated whether poor sleep quality predicted patients' decline in physical health functioning over 6?months and whether social support buffered its detrimental effect. Participants were 185 patients with CHD, who completed measures of sleep, psychosocial characteristics, and physical health functioning at baseline and 6?months. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to examine whether global sleep index and its subscales, including sleep efficiency, perceived sleep quality, and daily disturbances (sleep disturbances and daytime dysfunction), predicted the decline of physical health functioning at 6?months. Social support was examined for its moderating effect in buffering the negative influence of poor sleep quality on physical health functioning over 6?months. Findings showed that poorer global sleep index, especially subscales of daily disturbances and lower sleep efficiency, significantly predicted greater decline of physical health functioning at 6?months, even after adjusting for covariates, including baseline functioning and depression. Moreover, social support was found to buffer the detrimental impact of poor sleep quality, especially low sleep efficiency, on 6-month physical health functioning. Findings suggest that improving sleep quality for patients with CHD may be promising to facilitate their long-term health maintenance.In the development of pharmacotherapies for substance use disorders, willingness to participate in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) among people who use drugs (PWUD) is influenced by numerous social and structural factors. Considering the criminalization and stigma experienced by PWUD and range of experiences in healthcare and research, PWUD may vary in their trust of health providers, health research physicians, or medical research processes. We therefore examine associations between trust in these three domains and willingness to participate in a hypothetical RCT for a novel pharmacotherapy for stimulant use among PWUD. Data were derived from a cross-sectional questionnaire administered to participants using crack and/or cocaine from three cohort studies of PWUD in Vancouver (?=?229). A majority of participants were "definitely" or "probably" willing to participate in an RCT. In multivariable ordinal regression, trust in research physicians was positively associated with willingness to participate, while trust in primary care providers or medical research processes were not significantly associated.
